Cinema
Regia: David Lynch
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Harry Dean Stanton, Willem Dafoe
At Giunti Odeon the first appointment of the retrospective The Big Dreamer: the cinema of David Lynch, with one of his masterpieces: WILD AT HEART, in a new 4K version on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of its release. From a novel by Barry Gifford. Sailor, on parole, and Lula, a runaway, love each other madly and attempt to reach Texas. A chase thriller that has the cadences of a black film, the manners of a street movie and the excesses of violence of a gothic melodrama. Lynch connotes his cursed story of the Deep South with an ironic and parodistic dimension that overturns its meaning and reveals its true nature as a comic fable, in the ‘low’ meaning of the word, but also close to the comic strip, that of two lovers crossing an atrocious world with a wild heart. Even when seemingly conforming to the laws of a genre, Lynch remains an impressionistic and grotesque visionary who looks at today's America with a pitiless eye. Golden Palme at the Cannes Film Festival in 1990.

Il Caffè Odeon di Firenze nasce da un incontro e da un sogno. L’incontro è quello con la casa editrice Giunti e col progetto sulla nuova vita da dare allo storico cinema Odeon di Firenze, come centro culturale polifunzionale. Il sogno era quello di poter avere uno spazio, aperto tutto il giorno come i grandi caffè mitteleuropei, in cui proporre piatti provenienti da diverse tradizioni gastronomiche, insieme ad una pasticceria altrettanto ricca e ad una caffetteria di grande qualità, senza trascurare bevande analcoliche sofisticate, vini e cocktail.Assaporare un cibo, bere un caffè fumante o sorseggiare un buon vino sono cose che hanno molto in comune con il leggere un libro o guardare un film: si tratta sempre di usare i nostri sensi per vivere delle storie, che ci riguardino direttamente o ci portino in altri mondi, ed è proprio questo che ha fatto sì che l’incontro permettesse al nostro sogno di avverarsi.
